[QUOTE="Lee VanRoss, post: 1746246, member: 40072"] As in humans, animals, cattle in this instance do not inherit DNA traits in equal percentages. In fact some traits may not be inherited at all and thereby lost to that particular offspring. While [I]cookie cutter [/I]offspring does happen in families it is not the norm in either cattle or kids. So to think your new bull is going to solve your problem of size variation can be an exercise in futility. Moderate or large frame cattle are not the result of what the American housewife or restaurateur wants or expects it is the result of the packers and fabricators unilateral control of the labor market. The more weight per unit that can be laid on the back of the worker the greater the profit per unit. I submit not one of a hundred producers of medium or large frame cattle could hold up their end in a packing or fabrication environment on a day to day basis. The packing industry by all laws of nature are compelled to process the product available to them. Increasing the size per unit of production (larger cattle) without regard to the its effect on labor is a zero sum game that will spell the death of the industry as we have known it. [/QUOTE]
